American Girl revealed its 2022 Girl of the Year doll on Thursday, and a lot of Asian American moms are thrilled. 'We know representation matters.'
"An iconic American Girl is more than blonde hair and blue eyes," Ria Pretekin, 40, a Filipino-American mom of two living in Illinois, tells TODAY Parents."An Asian American girl is also American, and in the wake of anti-Asian hate it would help to dispel the otherness. I’d love for Asian American children to feel the pride of their identities."
Larisa Courtien, 32, an Asian-American mom of two living in New York, says she didn't feel connected to the American Girl dolls as a child, either. Now, Courtien says she is hopeful that Corinne will be just one of many AAPI dolls that children, like hers, can relate to — something she says is a step in the right direction.
